Wear two watches on a night out?

There's a member on here who triple wrists it (an Omega Seamaster on left wrist, a Rolex Daytona on the right, and AW next to the Seamaster), but it doesn't mean you should follow his example.

I think your problem is you didn't get the SS and thus it's not "nice enough" for a night out. There is a number of members who came from a collection of luxury mechanicals including multiple Rolexes and have permanently relegated them to the drawer because they find the AW too useful.

Yep, my Rolex and Omegas are drawer jewelry at this point (haven't had a chance to sell them.) I would never imagine wearing a Rolex and an Apple Watch simultaneously. That just seems desperate.

Ultimately, if the President can constantly wear a Fitbit Surge with a suit, then we're fine with an Apple Watch no matter what the band or case material is.

My favorite line: "I've got some stuff to do."

I've known about this little show for a couple years and only started watching it again a couple weeks ago. Then the Season 7 preview popped up on my Apple TV in the Crackle "app". Been going back through old episodes when regular TV bugs me (which is often).

Yeah, we binge watched them all a couple of months ago.
 
I had the same thoughts, so bought the new Huawai Android wear watch for days/nights I want round and dressy with many face options

I wore my Tag Heuer on News Year Eve and left the Apple Watch at home. I love the Apple Watch but wearing my high end Tag feels good when dressing up.

The advice on getting nicer bands is a good idea.

...There are 3 choices:

1. Leave the 'Jewellery' watch at home gathering dust in a drawer for ever more.
2. Wear both - this strikes me as a little odd though.

4. Wear neither?

If you really want to impress them, focus on the people you're with. Forget about all the other stuff going on in the world.

In a dire emergency, pull your phone from your pocket.

Here is my dilemma: admittedly an awfully first world dilemma but a dilemma nevertheless.

What do I wear on a night out? I have an expensive watch that I usually wear on a night out - it looks good with a nice shirt, some good shoes etc but I now have an Apple watch and I appreciate the functionality it gives me and also the freedom from the urge to pull my phone from my pocket when I get a message.

What do you guys do?

And this is exactly why I don't buy an apple watch: I won't stop using my "nice" watches willingly more than a few days a week, and IMHO, to really squeeze all the benefits of an AW, you have to use it daily, right? not just 2 days per week.

You mean health/activity tracking? Not all AW users do this, even if worn daily. I for one don't care for it as I can't wear a watch during jujitsu (for safety reasons), which won't count thereby messing up the tracking.

Notifications at a glance is by far the biggest benefit of the AW for many users. It'd still be useful to me if it's the only thing it's capable of.

The watch is beautiful, but it's not the only beautiful watch out there. Even though you can switch bands, it's nice to be able to change up. Wear the other watch.

Don't buy one. I'm not sure how nice your watches are, but even my relatively middle of the road Rolex and Omegas no longer get any use. Last month, I tried to wear my Submariner for a couple of weeks, and, although it's a great looking watch, and I'm really into mechanical things, I missed the the functionality of the Apple Watch so much that I had to switch back.

As I've said many times before, mechanical wristwatches are a relatively new phenomenon from the last 100 years, so it's dubious to expect the trend of wearing a mechanical watch as jewelry to last forever, now that a more useful object is competing for the same wrist space. Pocket watches were around for centuries, and I don't know many people who carry them now (I have a gold heirloom pocket watch in the drawer, too.)

The funny thing about having a $7K watch is that, honestly, no one even notices or cares...except other people who are into expensive watches. People also rarely even notice that I'm wearing an Apple Watch.
 
If he is like me, we would but all my other watches in my watch case are dead, havent worn any other watch except for an Apple Watch and now the Huawai Watch since April 24th lol

I'm too addicted to filling all the activity rings to cycle the watch with my other non smart watches.
 
Went out for the first time yesterday and once I got dressed up there was no way I was wearing the Apple Watch, it looks like a toy band compared to it. I had forgotten how special the real one feels to be honest.
 
Honestly, I can't believe someone really asks if they should wear two watches at the same time.

The SS looks less like a toy and is what you should have gotten instead of the Sport if you wanted to wear it while dressed up.

This is part of why I went with the SS. Most of my other watches are pretty nice-looking, and I didn't think I would take the aluminum AW seriously enough to wear it often.
